O Quebra-Nozes Versão Hip Hop

This is one of the most phenomenal productions of.. anything I have ever seen! I am a classically trained musician and huge fan of the classic Nutcracker score. This modern twist on the story was so masterfully done. From the mixed style of music, to the choreography, to the makeup, to the clever way of communicating important story elements to the audience: it was truly a modern ballet done to perfection.

Cache Melvin as Maria-Clara and Dushaunt Fik-shun Stegall as the Nutcracker were such a darling pair on screen. Great chemistry and incredible talent! Cameo from Mikhail Baryshnikov was such a treat. Joseph Simmons from Run-DMC narrate-rapping story elements was so tasty. Stephen Boss was such a perfect addition to the cast. I can't believe he ended his life after this was released. What a sad loss to the world.

I hope to see more productions like this going forward. So, So many delicious things to enjoy on this visually, aurally and emotionally.
